Halloween Event Safe for Children
RV Sales in Moriarty is gearing up for its 11th annual Trick or Treat Trailer-to-Trailer event for Halloween.

More than 1,500 children usually attend each year, and an estimated $3,500 in candy is given away. The event depends on the generosity of local residents and businesses for its success.
Money donations allow the RV Sales staff to purchase more candy from a distributor at a discount. Donations can be brought to the RV Sales lot on old Route 66 or mailed to P.O. Box 1788, Moriarty, NM 87035. Sponsors will be acknowledged in a flier sent home with each child.
